think of the children!

I am ! My daughter would love to shoot one of those puppies. 

Couldn't they still hock the old ones ?

OGC, SEC, Bud's Guns, whoever in a bulk sale.

Offer the officers a chance to buy them back (then sell them to us permit approved law abiding citizens)

according to them, we'd all go crazy and take over the capital after we decided to shoot up a wal mart and burn down a hospital because guns are just that scary.

Did my letter to Da Mayor for what good it will do. A real travesty that these guns will be destroyed. Has he budged yet? or anything else been heard?
Seems to me we supported this guy? encouraged by this forum and HRA? Because he was friendly to our cause?

As for the pricing disparity, have any of you been around a purchasing office at Holiday time?
I want that job! I am sure the gift baskets and boxes of Manapua are only what is on the surface.
Graft and corruption are alive and well.

He's currently not campaigning.

the mayor has a full campaign war chest and no viable future opponents, so he no longer needs to have the support of the 2a/gun community

macsak for mayor!!!

With the recent exposure to HPD's $14 MILLION  cash in there account, whats a measly $500,000.00 ? 

A little blue birdie told me that the decision to destroy the guns was made because HPD's inventory was so screwed up (lost, missing, unaccounted for etc.) that it would be easier to just scrap um instead of opening up a big (public) can of worms.  The guns were already taken for destruction to a local recycler yesterday.

if their accountability was screwed up how do they know that all of the firearms were destroyed? Day Day that isn't a question for you its rhetorical.

I would not doubt the accountability was screwed up.  I also would not doubt the firearms were destroyed weeks if not months ago.

Our government, both state and local, would never survive a full audit.  Just the BOE alone would be taken apart and dismantled if the level of missing and misspent funds was ever brought to light.

I bet the record keeping for the pistols is incomplete, and i's easier to lie, saying the guns were 100% destroyed, than try and explain how 20% or more of their inventory is unaccounted for.

THOSE are the guns that will "wind up on our streets!"  Whether stolen or simply not accounted for when an officer signs one out, accountability would be shown to have gaps.  In this land of strict gun laws, that would be really bad press for our elected and appointed officials.

I see said the blind man.
That makes the most sense as to why they would destroy them.
Nothing else makes any sense.

I think they were lost in a boating accident.

In all seriousness, that reason makes sense actually.  $500k of equipment wasted to do a coverup.

Especially when it's "just government funds."   

Why does none of this conjecture surprise me???
Especially the way they went out the back door, real quick and quiet in a caravan of escorted vans.
Would be willing to bet that at the least most if not all of the new ones are in somebodies hands. Did not make the shredder
Hard to prove.but.... FOIA Maybe?
As I have said Graft and corruption are alive and well.
